MAYOR of Wellington Bob Bowrah, who spent a significant part of his career in the armed forces in Germany, enjoyed a VIP night at the pre-opening of the Bierkeller in High Street, Taunton.

He won a complimentary ticket for four people, included a free stein of beer and Curry Wurst – a large German sausage in a roll covered in curry-flavoured sauce.

Bob is pictured second left with wife Liz and Keith and Carol Lissaman.
